RhinoShield vs Speck

I had a Speck Candyshell Inked on my 5s last year and the vivid print that it came with completely rubbed off after a few weeks of going in and out of my jeans pocket. I contacted Speck & they sent me a replacement and the same thing happened so I gave up on the Inked cases. I currently have a Candyshell Grip on my 6s+. I know the rubber bits on the back will eventually peel off because they always do but I get bored with my cases and end up changing them every few months anyway. I try to buy them when they're on sale from an Amazon seller, I got this one for $20. I'd never pay the full retail price that Speck wants for their cases because I don't think they're well made enough to justify it. I hate how scratch-prone they are! But like I said, for $20 and for how often I change my cases, I can deal with them for a few months at a time. I do like the grippiness & drop protection.

Thanks for the great review on the Playproof! I think I'll go ahead and order that one when it's available for the 6s+!

I have never used griffin and cannot stand life proof
Bought one before used for 2 days and threw it in the garbage..just doesn't feel good in my hand and I don't feel that my phone is actually protected in it

You threw the expensive case into the garbage?! It pains me to even think about it

I do love Spigen. I have a tough armor coming directly from Spigen. I am hoping to make a decision from those 3 cases only. :)

I just sold my Thule on Ebay, and have 2 others for sale as well.

THe 2 video reviews I saw of the rhino shield seemed great. Cant wait to try it out...

I had a Spigen bumper for my 5s, was not a good experience. It's too fragile. (I didn't break it, it was actually my baby sister who did the deed)

I had their tough armor for the 5s and now the slim and tough armor for the 6s plus. For the cost, I love Spigen quality.

As an aside, I already got the tracking number for the rhino shield and it will likely be her tomorrow or Monday since it is only 1 state over. :)

I had the Tough Armor as well, along with the Slim Armor S and the Neo Hybrid, which is one of the bumper frames chochoice pictured above. Loved them all. They held up for the 2 years I had my 5s and during all of the frequent swapping of cases I put my phone through. Spigen rarely misses the mark and are more cost effective than a good number of some better known brands.

Awesome news about your Rhinoshield! That was very fast! Sounds like you got the same exact case I did. I think you'll be pleased. I'm still pleasantly surprised how deceptively thin it is but incredibly resilient at the same time. Hope you enjoy it!

I was really surprised at how quickly it was shipped. It is in NJ, and I live in Pa on the NJ border. So...by Monday the latest
 
On my 5s I had a Neo hybrid, held up fantastic. Although I lost a phone when it fell off a bike mount on a bump when going down a steep hill, the case held up! And went on my replacement. Now I am using the Neo hybrid carbon on my 6s and it is just as nice and a little nicer looking!
 
I got my black play proof. Only one word....WOW.

It is very firm on the phone, but ridiculously thin. For this to be able to withstand 11.5 foot drops is astounding. I don't have the nerve to test that though. ;)

Nice feedback. How do you like the buttons? Responsive?

Outside of a select few, probably the most responsive I have tried

Awesome! I'm going to wait and see what they offer Black Friday and pick one up. Looking at the Dark Blue. What color did you get?
